Sergey Morgachev's personal email was breached by hackers in Ukraine and they subsequently ordered sex toys and gay pride flags in his name.

Morgachev is thought to have previously been in charge of the Fancy Bear hackers, and he is Vladimir Putin's Lieutenant Colonel at Moscow's chief intelligence office.

The Ukrainian hackers - who call themselves Cyber Resistance - have taken to Telegram to claim responsibility for the attack and to boast about their achievement.

In a message about Morgachev, the group described him as "a very cool and clever hacker". But, they added: "We hacked him."
